Local cooperation

Glava Energy Center is situated in

the community of Arvika, about

twenty kilometers south of the town.

It´s goal is to be a developing centre

on a regional, national and

international level and be open to

companies and organisations, active

in the field of renewable and efficient

energy. It is also a centre of energy

for children and young people to

learn about energy.

It has grown up because of FEM, a

big transnational European project,

about energy and the interest of a

local company, wich manufactures

parts for solar energy.

Transport

We have started a project to increase

the number of electric cars and

bycycles and building transfer points

from truck to railways. At the moment we dont have any

figures to present

Energy efficiency in buildings

Two upper secundary schools:

Solberga - conversion from heat

pump and cardioversion into

district heating.

Taserud -conversion from oil into

district heating

Energy efficiency in buildings

• Additional isolation of facades and attics

• Replacement of windows

• Commissioning of heating and ventilation

systems

• Conversion from electric heating to

district heating

After all activities the overall heat has fallen

by 15-20% over a 10-year period, and

projects are still going on

Education - energy training

Local companies in Arvika such as Thermia and

Swegon, who produces and install heating and

cooling, have asked for this kind of education.

They want to get an overview of energy related

issues in buildings. This education is adapted to th

needs of business.

Last year 18 students were out and 12 of them

had got a job immediately after graduation.

It has been a great demand of this education and

there is a great interest in having another one next

year, 2015.

Arvika Fastighets AB continuously

educate their employees in energy issues.

Hydro

As a part of the process of energy

transition, in 2011 the community bought

26 hydro power stations.

The hydro power stations produce about

70 GWh, which is equivalent to the dual

needs of Arvikas eletricity.
